lyrics

When we got married, we talked about our dreams
We’ll outgrow Ohio someday and head to DC
Imagine a White House, me by your side, overflowing with pride
You’ll be the first lady, my precious wife, the light of my life

and I’ll send three letters every day
I’ll tell you I love you while i’m away
Until we’re together I’ll fill up the page,
To show my devotion I’ll put my name on three letters every day

Earth is a cruel place and life isn’t fair
We’ve had our share of bad luck.
Lost both the children, our two little girls, Ida and Katharine,
It felt like our whole world came crashing down
But we made it through
We’re on the top now, no higher to move, nothing left to prove

I’ll still send three letters every day
to tell you i love you while I’m away
Until we’re together I'll fill up the page
to show my devotion I’ll put my name on three letters every day
That is a price i’m happy to pay
No need to worry, I’ll be kept safe and I’ll put the postage in the right place
on three letters tell me that you’re okay
I worry about you while I’m away
Until we’re back together I’ll put ink on the page,
Until I can hold you I’ll put my name on three letters every day

I hate to leave you, you know that’s the truth
I’ll be home soon
